Wow, it's good to be back on the blogging front. I do apologise for not updating you in around a week, but I thought it would be a little tedious to write about every day in this half term individually, because you would eventually become bored and stop reading any of my future blogs.
So it's the last day of the half term and I am pleased with the amount of activity that I achieved within the measly seven days. I'll only give you an insight to the days in which something was actually achieved or a particular day in which I found interesting, this way I will hopefully have your full attention throughout the majority of this blog :)
So, on the first couple of days I didn't actually do very much, among other things I lazed around the house, sunbathed, revised (well I like to say I did) and had a few visitors round. But nothing really occurred until the Thursday that week. My friends and I went to Great stone beach which turned out to be a huge success. To begin with when I stumbled off the bus opposite the Jolly Fisherman at the time of 10 'o clock, no one was to be seen, so I started to have doubts in whether I should just hop back on the next bus and go back home immediately, but then again I contemplated the thought of being stuck indoors for another twenty-four hours by myself and started walking towards the beach. At that moment I saw my friend, Chris. He looked raring to go for the events ahead and so we headed up the sandy dunes and picked an appropriate space in which we would spend the next few hours. Once set up we started to build what Chris called a "sofa". To my surprise it actually turned out to be very "sofa-like" and we enjoyed sitting on it, along with new arrival Calfyn until the tide inevitably arrived and the walls of our furniture piece got washed away and settled itself into the depths of the ocean. In other news, at around 2 'o clock Will, Aiden, Aston, and Holly arrived. So there we were the famous seven sitting on the beach of Great stone, tanning, playing football, digging holes, and poking jellyfish - wonderful. So Thursdays events resulted in some good photo opportunities, some memorable memories and some degree of sunburn.
Following that busy day I yet again set off on the bus on the Friday, this time I was going to the sunny town of Folkestone, I met up with my friend, Matt and we headed for the beach, fully equipped with camera and volvic water with essence of Strawberry - very refreshing. I won't bore you with the details of every moment that happened but I will say that we had a marvelous time. The most inspiring thing that happened to me this half term would have occurred on the Friday. As we got to the top of the "Zig-Zag path" and onto the Leas, we were stopped by a man who had previously been reciting the bible out to the people who were going about their business on the Leas. He asked us various questions about Christianity and gave us some Cd's and leaflets about it. My friend Matt did not seem interested in the topic at all but me, I was pretty intrigued. He then asked if he could pray for us and so we obliged and before we knew it he was connecting with God with his hands on our shoulders asking if we could be looked after. Many of you may not believe in such things, but after that it got me thinking about it, but for now I'm still unconcerned by the beliefs of this society.
The Saturday did not amount to a great amount and it mainly involved me laying about the house, watching TV and trying my best to concentrate on a Mathematics paper for a few minutes. This examination I fear will not go very well, It's not that I don't know the stuff, it's just that I learnt how to do them a considerably long time ago and the information that I acciqured back then had now become a distant memory. My teacher told me that they would need to be "reawakened" but it doesn't seem to be working for me right now. Pass or fail, I won't be really concerned because I don't need Maths to pursue my career choice, the only benefit that it will have to be is to secure my place in sixth-form and be another grade I can place upon my CV.
You'll be happy to know that I am now going to talk to you about today's events and consequently finish this blog for the day. So I won't delay you. Today has been a beautiful day, the birds were out "chirping" as the sun rose slowly from the horizon. It's not like I was up at that time to marvel such an event, but it's imaginations way of picturing a beautiful scene. I woke up around 7 'o clock, and did my daily walk with the dogs. This was enjoyable until I got to the end of my road only to discover that I was still only wearing my pyjamas which were not exactly suitable for walking along a road in which cars would drive past frequently. But anyways, I was too tired to even attempt the drag myself back to my bedroom, so I continued along. I went indoors, got my breakfast... I'll skip a few hours here to avoid a rather boring paragraph. So at around 12 'o clock I decided to vacate my house and go to the river along side my house; not only did I manage to bring myself I also brought along with me some handy revision books loosely relating to the examination that I was going to take part in tomorrow. I clambered into my boat and laid down, the lapping of the water onto the wood was peaceful and some what relaxing. I pulled out my studying equipment and started to read a page titled "Completing the Square". It only felt like a second had passed when I opened by eyes but when I looked at my phone I came to the conclusion that I fallen asleep for around two and half hours - great. Due to the fatigue that I was experiencing I stumbled and fell around the boat leading to a grand splash, which signalled that I was now in the cold water and experiencing a refreshing event in which I was very unready for. So I managed to drag my soaking wet body up the bank of the river and retreated back to my house, only to be welcomed by the questioning shouts of my family as to why I was covered in water and various parts of weed. I let them work it out for themselves as I got into the shower.
I am now wrapped in a dressing gown aided with a hot chocolate writing this up. I may blog a little bit later, but I can't promise anything.
Take care...
